"As a fundamental concept for helping in open science, the FAIR principle should be brought to the attention of everybody at the university", writes professor Jaana Bäck in this article. For Bäck, following the principles of open science is a natural way of doing research because it improves the impact of her scientific work. "Open access to the data allows efficient collaboration, co-authorship with researchers from other countries and continents, and overall, larger visibility and impact of the work we do."
